EuroSim

EuroSim, the European Union simulation, is a simulation of the governing process of the European Union. Eurosim is an annual event which takes place over the course of four days and involves students from U.S. and European universities. The simulation alternates locations between Europe and the United States. Previous Eurosim meetings have covered the debate over food safety, enlargement, and the draft constitution. Simulations always cover current and ongoing issues in the EU itself.

Widener University is proud to be selected to host EuroSim 2011, March 31 - April 3, 2011.
